Abstract:
Dissection of the cavernous nerves eliminates spontaneous erections and may lead to irreversible erectile dysfunction due to degeneration of cavernous tissue. Novel procedures to reconstruct penile innervation include cavernous nerve interposition grafting and neurotrophic treatments to revitalize penile neural input, evaluated thus far in various preclinical models of cavernous nerve injury. Schwann cells crucially contribute to successful axonal regeneration by mechanical and paracrine mechani...     »
